A BREATH OF FRESH AIR.........

The Aam Aadmi party's emergence as the new kid on the block in New Delhi certainly gives the urban and semi urban voter due cause for both celebration as well as elation.......


Absolutely no one including the most die hard Aam Aadmi party supporters expected to see their party doing so well in the national capital and give an established and long standing national party like the Bharatiya Janata Party such a close and hari raising run for it's money.......

As things stand at the present moment, the Aam Aadmi Party is all set to emerge as the second largest party in the assembly and their leader and chief ministerial candidate Arvind Kejriwal is also threatening to dethrone the three time chief minister Sheila Dikshit in her bastion (Mr. Kejriwal is presently leading the sitting CM by a margin of more than 1,800 votes)........

Well, it is all but certain that the Bharatiya Janata Party will form the next government in Delhi with the support of their long standing allies, the Akalis and such notable others, but the story of the day is certainly the emergence of the Aam Aadmi Party as a credible alternative that has all but swept the Indian National Congress aside and emerged as the beacon of "clean, common man centric and refreshingly naive and old worldly" brand of politics........

Political pundits and psephologists are currently at a loss of words and barely able to explain the emergence of a party that is almost completely urban centric as all the established political parties in existence have always practised and propagated caste, creed, religion, region and sop based brand of politics that all but sidelined the urban electorate as a constituency........

But, the emergence of the Aam Aadmi Party has certainly come as a breath of fresh air and sent the established age old political parties to conjure up policies and programmes exclusively meant for the urban and semi-urban electorate; in fact, the Aam Aadmi Party has also stormed the citadels of both the Indian National Congress as well as the BJP in the national capital and caused a storm of gigantic proportions in the national political circles........

Due credit must certainly be given to Messrs. Kejriwal, Shazia Ilmi, Yogendra Yadav, Kumar Vishwas, Gopal Rai, Manish Sisodia and others of their ilk within the Aam Aadmi Party, remaining steadfast to their brand of "clean, accountable and people centric politics", fighting the elections with funds solely raised from donations given by the common man and underlining the disillusionment and disenchantment of the urban electorate with the "corrupt and sycophancy ridden brand of politics" practised by the established political parties.......

Way to go Aam Aadmi Party; you certainly seem to be the much desired "manna" from heaven, but for god's sake, don't get carried away by the euphoria of your more than creditable showing at the hustings, never compromise with your ideals and avowed goal of ushering in an era of "clean, corruption free, collective, bureaucracy free and accountable brand of Politics"..........

As for the Aam Aadmi he certainly can give himself a pat on the back for sending jitters down the spines of the established political parties and making his voice heard in an unequivocal and resounding manner.........
